My Journey To MARAWI (Philippines Richest City?)

Описание: MY JOURNEY TO MARAWI HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN THE MAKING.

After all, the Maranao culture is centuries old. It is perhaps the most preserved in not only the Moro world, but the whole Philippines.

How could I tell this story the right way?

From Bukidnon, I made a short trip to the town of Amai Manabilang - formerly known as Bumbaran, after the beautiful valley in the Maranao epic "Darangen", it was only settled (and converted from forest) in the 1960s - but provides some inspiration for the journey.

From the edge of Lanao del Sur, I travelled through forest (Maguing) to Lake Lanao itself - and what a beautiful sight it is. Torogans, pater, browa - this is an ancient, royal culture - that was never colonised!

Marawi is my final destination today - and given my route, I have no choice but to pass through "Ground Zero" - where the horrific 2007 Battle of Marawi took place. The destruction is still evident - which is saddening.

But I want to focus on the great Maranao culture - first with the cuisine, and then by visiting MSU, the home of education in this peaceful, cool land.

There is more to come - but this is a great introduction.
